Youth Townhall: Let's keep the fire in our bellies

Today's the day, young people. And more than ever, which has been made abundantly clear in the ruthless, circuslike midterm election campaigning by what truly have become political "characters," we cannot afford to disengage from politics. Not now.

Tonight, President Barack Obama will host a townhall meeting geared toward young adults. The hour-long discussion, sponsored by MTV, BET and CMT networks, will air live at 4 p.m. E.T. Live coverage will also be available on MTV.com, BET.com and CMT.com.

Questions will be solicited via Twitter. Here's how to ask your questions as described via The White House Blog.

The President will be taking questions from the live audience and Twitter. To ask your question, just use the hashtag #ask plus the topic of your question. For example, if your question is about jobs use #askjobs, if it's about energy use #askenergy. You can also comment the event using the hashtag #comment. Be sure to tune in tomorrow at 4 PM EDT to see if your question gets asked.

Our job as U.S. citizens didn't stop in 2008 with the presidential election. Let's keep the fire in our bellies.
